RFID Mutual Authentication Protocol Based on Chaos Key

Abstract:

While radio frequency identification (RFID) is evolving as a major technology enabler for identifying and tracking goods and assets around the world, its security issues are also increasingly exposed. A Hash-based RFID mutual authentication protocol was put forward. The key was joined into the hash algorithm, and chaos sequences were used to update the key. The protocol enhances the security of the RFID system with low cost. Experiments show that the chaos system has the character of initial value sensitivity, which can be used to distribute and update the secret key. Safety analysis show that the mutual authentication protocol can solve security issues including eavesdropping, illegal access, masquerade, spoofing attack, position tracking.
